Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 119

After returning from the fireworks event, Eileen felt that Egbert didn’t seem as angry anymore. She decided to seize the opportunity. She asked him, “Do you feel like nurturing some feelings tonight? How about watching a romantic movie together?”

Egbert unlocked the door with his keys, walked in, and quietly replied, “No need, better get some rest.”

He closed the door behind him..

The next day when Eileen arrived at the set, Galen called her over. Galen, smoking a cigarette, said, “The actress playing Hertha is coming this afternoon due to scheduling issues. We need to shoot her scenes first, so we’ve adjusted the shooting schedule. Everyone will be focusing on Hertha’s scenes for now.”

Eileen blinked. “So, does this mean Joyce’s scenes will be postponed?”

Galen nodded. “Exactly. It’ll give you and Egbert more time to adjust.”

Eileen turned to look in the direction of Egbert, who was reading the script.

“Does Mr. Reed know about this?” Eileen asked.

Galen replied, “Yes, he’s aware.”

Eileen nodded. “Alright.”

The new character, Hertha, was played by a secondary actress named Salome. Originally, for the role of Hertha, they could have cast a top-tier actress. But because Joyce’s role had been elevated, Galen contacted several actresses who had auditioned previously. However, when they found out they would be paired with a newcomer, they all declined. In the end, Galen had to pull some strings to bring Salome on board.

Salome, however, only had a two-month window and was set to join another production soon. So, Galen decided to shoot her scenes first.

In the following days, Eileen had very few scenes, almost none at all. Yet, she still went to the set every day because Galen wanted her to stay in touch with Egbert to continue building their relationship.
